Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language that is often described as a "batteries included" language due to its comprehensive standard library). It is dynamically typed and garbage-collected, and supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented, and functional programming). Python is commonly used for a wide range of applications, including data science, software and web development, automation, and task automation.
Pythons simple, easy-to-learn syntax emphasizes readability and reduces the cost of program maintenance. It supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. Python works on different platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi.
Python is often used for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. It can be treated in a procedural way, an object-oriented way, or a functional way. Python has syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages, and it runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is written.
Python is commonly used for developing websites and software, task automation, and data analysis. It is also beginner-friendly, and experienced programmers in any programming language can pick up Python very quickly.
